BIG FIRE - FREE BEER - OTHER GOODIES IN THE WORKS .

hot hot hot

Well at work last night we lost a data center in San Diego on top of 40 or so remote terminals. A data center is a massive fiber link hub that connect thousands of fiber connections around the US. So about 20 million worth of equipment went up in smoke.

just don't say it

Global warning, just kidding. The one phrase you must never mumble is “I have nothing to do this weekend” That will surely have everyone you know doing a big project will be calling you for help. You will end up adding sidewalks trimming trees and cleaning out a home to be put up for sale. Yep I did not have anything to do all weekend. Well I did manage to change the gearing on the BMX bike Friday night.

this and that

Yep russell has real dsl and only dsl no dial tone. Yep I can make that happen for you as well with a few calls.

Have not been riding at all only work and that has been overwhelming and Shelly has play practice every night.

Bmx starts in 2 weeks, yep two weeks.

Have to leave town again for work real soon not sure what weeks yet.

Bikes are cheap

Bike are cheap just like gas. I just had another tooth break tonight so that's 4 busted teeth in two years. I called the dentist and got a appointment for noon tomorrow. So within a week I will drop 1500 on a root canal and cap. Yep 30 minutes of drilling and a epoxy ceramic cap will run 1500 bucks and that's with insurance. What a great way to waste a entry level road bike for the wife. Don't tell her.

The left just fell off the cliff

Can some explain how the hell Al Gore get a Nobel "PEACE" price for helping create a fake movie.

Stomach is still all screwed up. My stomach felt a tad twisted after the warm up at Shegirlgan and I sat by the restrooms just in case before expert call ups. Don yelled go and I made my way to 4th as we hit the pavement. I felt great stuck to Ross wheel in fifth. I made it about a mile on Sunday and I had an issue all over the woods again after the muddy bridge crossing. I lowered my head in a WTF moment and tried to jump back in. Just cant peddle when you stomach is all cramped up. So I went home one last time for 2007 still wondering. Made some more calls to the Doc. Need to start a eating chart and some other things over the next couple of months.

These people should get a beat down and then some

1 East siders who move into a college community and then complain students party at night and park on the street

2 Pewaukee residence that build 1,000,000 dollars home right next to a set of Railroad tracks then complain all the way to Madison the train uses it whistle at night.

3 Any dip shit that dropped 600 buck on a I Phone, wait - Then uploaded unauthorized software. Then loaded the real update that has now made their $600 phone a useless paperweight. Yeah that's apples fault , Watch ebay for thousands of cheap I Phones

4 Same as 2 just insert airport and airplane noise.

5 Apple for holding out on the new I pod for a year until Sony unveiled the new Walkman.

6 Anyone who put on their directional to turn after the light changes green

7 The post office and the now 6 month wait for a new passport

8 Anyone who beats their kids. They should get it twice.

9 Scott Walker and Tom Barrett that plan on spending all 91.5 million federal dollars in Milwaukee county. Instead of the five counties it was intended. Then they want it all spent on transportation for low income residence of Milwaukee. Sure a new bus or trolley or train will get them out of bed to work.

10 The rest of the 5 county transportation board for not speaking up against Walker and Barrett. Oh yeah all the other member are from Milwaukee county. Why would they want multi county pedestrian path. That won't make poor people work.

11 Anyone dumb enough to think more subsidised transportation will get people of their asses to work or school for that matter.

Home again

Well after a few delays again I am home from Nashville. No bike for 10 days She"girl"gan is going to hurt a bit. Well its the end of a season that for me has been a complete loss. This is one of those years that really make you feel better about years past and start thinking about what you can do to best control future seasons. Well see ya sunday.
